Marginal Anchors | Anchor Considerations in Rope Rigging Systems Vol. 2

By / Anchoring, Blog, General Rigging, Pulley Systems, Team Competencies / 335 Comments

Marginal anchors in theory create a force out of many, but how should we present this diverse and sometimes controversial concept of anchor construction?  This is an introduction to multiple back-ties and projecting the power of substantial anchors to a single focal point. Marginal anchors are generally considered independent anchors points that would not support …

Bombproof Anchors | Anchor Considerations in Rope Rescue and Rigging

By / Anchoring, Anchors, General Rigging, Team Competencies / 37 Comments

Excerpt from Anchor Considerations in Rope Rigging Systems Vol. 2 Segment 2 What is a bombproof anchor and what are some methods of rigging anchors? Bombproof anchors can hold it all… but does this principle apply in high directional anchors such as tripods, “A” frames, and gin poles? Questions of this nature are addressed in …

Understanding Resultants | Anchor Considerations in Rope Rigging Systems Vol. 2 Seg. 4 – Rigging Lab

By / Anchoring, General Rigging, Personal Competencies / 9 Comments

Resultants is another core rigging physics concept that is at time confusing and misunderstood.  During this sequence we will clear up some of this confusion. The way we address knots, MAs (Mechanical Advantages), and Anchors in these videos are more general and with a focus of the finer points that are many times overlooked. Our …

Managing Friction | Anchor Considerations in Rope Rigging Systems Vol. 2 Segment 1

By / Anchoring, General Rigging, Team Competencies / 2 Comments

Friction is a valuable factor in rigging; we are either using it to our advantage to lower something, or we are trying to overcome it  when hauling.  We use some applied physics to shed some light on this topic. The way we address knots, MAs (Mechanical Advantages), and Anchors in these videos are more general …
